periodic tiling programming

[palba]

Hello,

I would like to create rectangular periodic tilings with a program, depending on a few adjustable parameters.
The program would be a doubly nested loop, with usual drawing command inside the loop.

Can this be done in the command line or by scripting Qcad ?

Where is the related documentation ?

Thanks.

If the tiles are spread in a regular array with equal X/Y spacing and the tiles are all identical, you could simply use a block array (create a block, insert the block as an array of NxM block references).

If that is not the case, could you provide an example, screenshot, mockup, etc? Thanks.

Hello,

here is a sample done with another software.
The tiling is periodic (regular) square.
Offsets (shifts) can be adjusted in order to minimize small cuts.

The question reduces to : how to create an array in QCad ?

Thanks.
